In this episode, we go beyond the kitchen to explore Gonzalo Platero’s unique journey — from his early days in Brazil to leading open-fire kitchens in the Middle East.

Gonzalo shares how he found his calling not in culinary school, but through lived experience, intuition, and a deep respect for fire as both a tool and a teacher. We talk about what it means to lead a team under pressure, why he believes fire is a universal language, and how creating food outdoors strips things down to what really matters.

If you’re curious about how cooking connects us, or how instinct can shape a career, this one’s for you.
